Jim's 1972 — Restaurant in Cobourg

Small little spot in Cobourg’s main strip. We stopped in for lunch and ordered 2 large, 2-topping pizzas with 2 drinks which was advertised on the side of the building for 27.99, only to find that the actual price was $10 more inside, and without drinks included. The girl behind the counter explained that it was a deal from the previous owner. We ordered anyways and sat outside on their patio to eat. The pizza had a good amount of cheese but was really sparse on the toppings. The toppings are under the pizza so hard to tell how much of it there was. The sauce was super runny and a little too sweet for my taste. The crust was a bit dry but ok. For $50 for 2 pizzas, I think there are much better options in the area.

I asked for a refund, and was informed that only the manager could authorize that. I left my name and number, and 3 weeks later, I'm still waiting to hear...

Not the most pleasant counter staff, meaning that they more-or-less begrudgingly acknowledge you, or you're taking them away from something else they'd rather be doing. The pizza I got was rather disappointing for what it cost me. Not the very worst I've ever had, but far from great. I would return here, but only if they were the only show in town. They certainly charge that way. On the positive side, if you like a nice, thick crust under your toppings, their pizza had that going for it, however, if I were to order again, I'd be sure to specify "lightly done", as I don't care for crunchy hard crust, but I'd imagine that was a rookie mistake I made when...
